Obama boasts of his record on getting Twitter followers
President Barack Obama bragged at a fundraising event in New York that he has more Twitter followers than \"Parks and Recreation\" actor Aziz Ansari. \"I've got more Twitter followers than you, man,\" he told the crowd. And, indeed, he does. Obama has 12.8 million followers, compared to Ansari's 1.6 million.
Obama said he wanted to keep Ansari, who was at the event, \"humble and hungry.\" He was quick to follow that we all need someone who does that and he has Michelle. Ansari later tweeted: \"President Obama gives me a shoutout, calls me out on lack of Twitter followers. Unreal. Watch: http://bit.ly/AkMpjp\"
